The Lord of the Rings by Houghton Mifflin - illustrated and signed by Alan Lee to all 3 volumes

A three-volume illustrated set, signed by Alan Lee on all three title pages.

A fine, bright 3 volume set in the original color pictorial dust jackets, housed in the publisher's slipcase.
All three volumes signed by the illustrator Alan Lee, on the title page.

1st printing thus, from 2002, being the first time ever that the Alan Lee illustrated Lord of the Rings was issued in 3 volumes with all 50 of his color plates.

The earlier edition had only 48 color plates and was a smaller size.
Alan Lee later shared the 2004 Academy Award for Art Direction for his set-decoration work on The Return of the King, rather than for the book illustrations themselves.

Text block is clean and bright, no signatures or writing whatsoever. Except for Alan Lee's signature!
Mint, unread copy. Just some minor shelfwear at the slipcase.

A very beautiful edition of the Lord of the Rings, signed by Alan Lee, a unique Tolkien collectable!
